Bc it known that 'LSAMUnL DAVIS, of the city ot' Knnsas, inthe co'nnty of Jackson, in the State ot Missouri; hove invented n 'new and improvedWnshing Machine; andI do hereby decla-re that the following is .n full and exiict description thereof, reference being hed to the accompanying drawings. ond to the letters of reference morlted thereon), v s v The nature of my invention consists in the connection of wrevolving plunger, so arranged und nttoehed to n. single lever ns to admit of its turning by means of n. swivel; and, furthermore, my invention relates to a.

i dosher, so constructed ns to cnuse the wuter to ow from the outer circle towurds the centre, thereby loosening the clothes by the suction principle employed, ns hereinafter described.

To enable others skilled in the nrt to make anduse my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation. Y .And I do hereby ,declare that the following is a full, clem', and exnct description `ot' the construction and operation ot' the sonic, reference boing had to the annexed drawings, making a. port of this specicn'tion', 'in which-f Figure 1 `is n longitudinal section, und

figure 2 is o top *view` of' it. y

Figure 3 is :i vertical und transverse section of the swivel connection of the dnsher or plunger.

A represents n. tub, in which `works uplunger, B B, with o. suctionhonrd, 0 O, und on opening in the centre Afor-the passage of woterV wliile compressing the. clothes. In operating the machine, thefsurging motion oi' the wnterkceps the clothes loose, While the dr'isher'is being raised, the, plunger' may revolve, so tlmt a. uniforml bciiring is etlccted uporiell pn'rts'oi' the clothes. Letter F is en upright st'ztndnrd, secured to thc plunger B 13,

nnd forming suchV connections ns are represented by letterE, closing over by flanges the stundnrd F. Both E 4und F are iirmly secured together h'y a holt. `l) is a. shackle-har,,connected with Eby. means oi a swivel, e, ond

" upon this swivel a the plunger B B mnyrevolve.` The shacklcfbztr D`is connected to the lever C, which operates the'mnchi-ne. The fulcruin H secures the lever while attached to tho cross-bor I, supported by stands from the .outer edge ofthe tuhvA, so ns to give stability and solidityto the tub A, thus giving en eosy but powerful motion 4us applied tothe clothes. This combination is so udjustcd 'tl1 \t, \v hile throwing beck the lever C,.t he

'plonger B Bavill drain itself in the tnb A. v p l Whitt I desreto secure by Letters Potent, and what I claim' as my invention, is i The combination ns well its the arrnngement'oi' the annulmsuction-ring or -hoard() with the perforated or grated plunger B, and the application of the plunger to its working leverC,l by means of a swivel connection, in order to enable the plunger to revolve while in use, theqiwhole being substantially as described.
